Latriid - Stephostethus liratus

Latriid - Stephostethus liratus
Martel Forest, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, USA
August 31, 2007
Size: 2 mm
Another Latriid. Taken in panel trap in forested area. Should be Stephostethus (I think). If so, S. liratus is one of two in my area and looks to be a good match.

Yes its quite dirty, but the carina are somewhat visible on the pronotum. I'll change to a cleaner specimen when I find one.

Yes, . . .
I also think it is the genus mentioned. Surface structures obscured by dirt . . .
